Please don't copy-paste comments on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27921786). It lowers signal-noise ratio and isn't really how curious conversation works.

If you want to refer to another post, that's fine of course, but in that case use a link and perhaps add some new info if any is relevant.

Is this a new rule? I often find people copy/pasting older comments of theirs that is relevant to the current conversation.
